an animal like Mayer is likely to forget.
欧文肯定是干净的
Irving must be clean.
他看起来像一天要刮三次胡子

Well, there’s clean, and there’s clean.
欧文买♥♥了辛克莱的一本小说的版权
Irving bought one of Sinclair’s novels.
辛克莱要求他保证一个字都不能改
Sinclair demanded a guarantee that not one word could be changed,
要把保证写在购买♥♥支票的背面
in writing, on the back of the purchase check.
他不想要欧文·撒尔伯格的钱吗
He didn’t want notes from Irving Thalberg?
撒尔伯格拒绝后 辛克莱拿着他的钱

两部电影欧文都买♥♥了 你懂的
Irving’s bought ’em both, you know,
因为老爹的关系
because of Pops.

What do you think?
说实话
And honestly.

西班牙语里理想中的爱人的意思
From the Spanish, for sweetness.
“她的头发是金色的 她的脸颊是玫瑰色的”
“Her hair, gold. Her cheeks, roses.”
漂亮
Nice.
“她的双唇是珊瑚色的
“Her lips, coral.”
她的颈部肤如凝脂 她的酥胸白净如雪”
“Her neck, alabaster. Her bosom, marble.”
白净如雪
Marble?
也许曾经是的
Maybe once.
“她双手如玉 肌肤胜雪”
“Ivory, her hands, and her whiteness, snow.”
是你写的吗
You wrote that?
不是 一个叫塞万提斯的家伙写的
No. A fella named Cervantes.
“人世间熙熙攘攘
“There are meters of accent and meters of tone,
与她相见最理想”
but the best of all meters is to meet her alone.”
-一首有寓意的诗 -这只是第一节

后面的
The last…
“往来人千千万万
“There are letters of accent and letters of tone,
相见倒不如远观”
but the best of all letters is to let her alone.”
这句才是我写的
Now, those I wrote.
